A coordination compound `CrCI_(3).4H_(2)O` precipitates `AgCI` when treated with `AgNO_(3)` The molar conductance of its solution corresponds to a total of two ions Write the structural formula of the compound and name it .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Precipitation of one mole of AgCl shows that it has one ionizable Cl (outside the coordination sphere). Molar conductivity shows that one mole of the complex produces 2 moles of ions. Hence, the formula is (keeping in mind that coordination number of Cr is 6).
`[Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)Cl_(2)]^(+)Cl^(-)`
Name : tetraaquadichloridochromium (III) chloride.
